I'd put Newell, Decker and Barnett at the top of my possibilities list. Or maybe someone has a medical setback and calls it quits. Or Washington doesn't make it. 1 Quote Link to comment

But Newell had a good spring from all accounts - why do you think he'd leave? Quote Link to comment

He was getting some work with Stoltenberg out. But I don't think he's really in the rotation as of now. And there were more KState rumblings after the Spring Game. Quote Link to comment
Caliborn72 Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Take it for what it’s worth (not much!) but I keep hearing rumors that “a senior RB” will leave, regardless of if we need a scholarship spot or not. Quote Link to comment

That wouldn't terribly surprise me when hearing comments about the running back room from Held. He made it no secret that the seniors were more featured in the spring and that the competition would be more open in the fall. Furthermore, he's been very frustrated about the group's lack of finishing and general play once they reach the second/third level. Our senior backs have been lacking in this department in their careers. 6 Quote Link to comment

Not inconceivable that they go 8-9 deep up front rotating heavily and I think Newell can be a contributor. 2 Quote Link to comment

What's been troubling is we excuse it because the playcalling and blocking have gotten worse since then, as if the back doesn't matter. Well, we know the playcalling will be there. I have hopes at least the starting 5 lineman round into form by the end of the year. We will eventually recruit the backs. 2 Quote Link to comment
spurs1990 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 The more available pieces the better. Probably further down the list of need, but never hurts. A hit or two away from needing a 2nd or 3rd guy to play. 1 Quote Link to comment
Xmas32 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 I feel like Nebraska is kind of like a hot shooter at a craps table. KEEP ON PRESSING BABY! Quote Link to comment

It would be really fascinating if Vedral becomes eligible immediately. NU could in theory rotate all 3 guys to see if someone separates or try and play each guy 4ish games each to maintain redshirts. 1 Quote Link to comment
